California is a Democratic-Party catastrophe.

[VaYank5150]

Arnold had no problem not signing legislation he didn't agree with.

quite eloquently, too.

California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger becomes the Swearminator as he turns down legislation - mirror.co.uk

your using one bill as an example?.....how about the ones he signed?....

Schwarzenegger Signs Key Bills to Move Health Care Reform to Next Level - New America Media

Apparently, because Arnold supported legislation that would help the citizens but did NOT inlcude defense spending measures, he was immediately labeled as a RINO by the "base" of the GOP.

 

[The Rabbi]

Of course they hate Arnold.

Turned out he wasn't the TERMINATOR they'd hoped.

The right sure is a hopeful bunch. Flopping from one "this is THE one" to another as each fail to satisfy them. But they seem to lose no enthusiasm with each one.

Tell me about it. Does anyone remember Piyush Jindal?

Do you hate him because his parents are immigrants or because his skin is dark?

Personally, I think he is a terrorist and a Muslim. Just look at his name for crying out loud. Probably born in Kenya. Have you seen his birth certificate? Why is he hiding it? Someone should probably take him to court.

 

[Harry Dresden]

A democratic catastrophe that's had a republican governor for how many years?

what loons and freaks you are.

Liberals ran the state into the ground. Don't matter a hairy rats ass how many times you call people loons and freaks, liberals ran the fucking state right into the ground.

SOME Liberals ran the State into the ground Willow,not all.....and i will state here that the majority of those that have been in the Legislature since around 97-98 are of the FAR-Left variety.....i know plenty of Moderate to Conservative Democrats who are not happy with the people running this State .....but like everyone else.....the choices are....keep the same losers in or vote for the not so great person running against them....what a choice....i myself very very seldom will vote for the incumbent unless they have proven by their Legislative actions to support the State and their constituents over the dam Party....and there are not too many of them around....

Why focus on that? He's shown such an astounding lack of leadership there's more than enough reason to vote against him.

If you lived in Louisiana, you'd know that when we need Bobby, he's no where to be found. He spends nearly all his time gearing up for his 2012 bid. When budget crisises strike, Bobby's definition of leadership is to tell folks: You figure it out.

I thought California was great... After all, isn't that what Obama is trying to turn the whole country into???

Ever since the 70's huh. Wasn't Reagan Governor in the 70's?

dont even insult the Dems of the 70's by comparing them to the trash that uses that name now and runs this State......two different animals....

exactly what i say about the guy in the White House at the moment......

I think that's a legitimate complaint about Obama. After all, he had a House Majority and a philibuster proof Senate, so where's the results?

I think that Obama's problem is that he's proven unable to stand up to Pelosi and Reid. He's had problems keeping the military in line. I'm still waiting for the defining moment of leadership.

Read up on Jindal, he's not much better. All talking points, little in the way of actual leadership. Every time the budget falls apart, Jindal disappears to Iowa and leaves behind a post it note saying "Do more with less." That isn't leadership. That's a bumpersticker mentality.

 

[BlindBoo]

Enron was Democratic?

Although I previously said that mainstream America loves to dream, what I really meant is that mainstream America loves to hallucinate, believing that utterly impossible things are undeniably true. Most Americans, for example, believe that financial details don't really matter as long as the spending party continues. Americans believe that you can get something for nothing if you just manage to fool enough people. Americans believe that greed is good, that the free market can do no evil, and that the highest expression of capitalism is only revealed through the individual expression of personal greed.
Maybe not all Americans believe this, but the vast majority do. And so it was no surprise that when Enron was cooking its books, creating "profits" out of thin air, and screwing California out of billions, all the Americans involved just went along. To which Americans am I referring? Well, let's see...

First we have the Enron traders, who were caught on tape saying, "Burn, baby, burn!" as wildfires destroyed power transmission lines in California right during the rolling blackouts. Why would Enron traders want transmission lines to burn? Because scarcity creates profits. And Enron traders, the world now knows, fabricated scarcity by exporting power from California and shutting down power plants under false pretenses. Enron traders didn't just go along, they plotted the demise of the California economy for their own personal gain.

The truth about Enron that most Americans don't want to hear

California today is an economic disaster because of the Democratic state legislature, Democratic congressmen, and Democratic big-city mayors who have ruled California since the 1970s and who during that time have made California a haven for illegal immigrants, most of whom are illegal immigrants from Mexico and Latin America.

The state legislature has the dominant say in running California, and the Democrats have been in control of the legislature since 1970; the California Assembly has been in Democratic hands since the 1970 election except for the period from 1995 to 1996, and the California Senate has been in Democratic hands continuously since 1970.

Democratic state-legislative dictators Jesse Unruh and Willie Brown (the latter made California a welfare giveaway state, stealing highway tax monies to pay for welfare) actually ran the state from the legislature for decades until conscious Californians enacted term limits to end that legislative dictatorship, but, of course, the one-party rule continued in California after term limits as the Democrats continued to control the state legislature, the big cities, and most of the Congressional offices.

California Democrats since the 1970s have been far-left on nearly every issue, including, of course, illegal immigration, and they made California a "sanctuary" for illegal immigrants.

California Democrats since the 1970s have been far-left on nearly every issue, including, of course, illegal immigration, and they made California a "sanctuary" for illegal immigrants.

The crushing illegal immigration in California since the 1970s -- and particularly since the 1980s, and especially from Mexico and Latin America -- has devastated state, city, and county governments that have had to dole out record free public services for illegal immigrants and their offspring while also spending record amounts to fight rising gang activity and crime perpetuated by the same two groups.

Illegal immigration has also brought about record deficits to most of the states public school districts as illegal immigration has dumped millions of children into the school system by parents who pay little or no taxes. Most of the California's public school children in the last two decades have been either illegal immigrants or their offspring. Most of the illegal immigrants in the state are from Mexico and Latin America, and most of the students who have done poorly in school are Mexican or Latin American; thus, despite, California spending during that time more money per student than most states, California's public-school students, who ranked No. 1 nationally prior to the illegal immigration flood, have for years been among the nation's worst in both testing and dropout rates.

Illegal immigration has also caused a monumental jump in the state's population over the last three decades; this sudden population increase has taken a heavy toll on the state's infrastructure and the environment, so much so that even members of the ultra-liberal Sierra Club warned in the 1990s about the "immigration" and overpopulation problems in the state. These Sierra Club warnings, however, were quickly withdrawn after the Democratic Party and far-left groups who support the environmental organization demanded that the Sierra Club rescind those assertions.

The Democrats' answers to the illegal immigration problems have been the following: allow illegal immigration to continue unabated by forming sanctuary cites, do virtually nothing about either securing the borders or monitoring illegal employment, enact legislation like heath care and low-interest home loans to help illegal immigrants and their offspring, propose amnesty legislation for all illegal immigrants as well as “DREAM-Act” legislation that would provide educational loans, work study, and permanent residency for qualifying illegal immigrants, and throw more and more government money at the problems, paying for it all either by taxing American citizens through a broader range of taxes like sales taxes and parcel taxes or by taking on more public debt.

California is a Democratic-Party catastrophe.

Really luv the way you discount any responsibility to the republicans in the legislature and that held the governor's office. As long as republicans are 'blind in one eye', we'll never get to any viable solutions.

Bullshit

You're quite-obviously too-young to remember Gray Davis.



After Pete Wilson (Republican) deregulated electrical-generation, in California (1996), "Kenny Boy" Lay & ENRON proceeded to RAPE California's treasury, during Davis's admin.

Along comes Ahhhnold (after a "conference" with "Kenny Boy"), and campaigned (for the Governorship; against Davis) with the promise to clean-up California's economy.....without raising taxes.

He FAILED!!!!!

California couldn't DO ANY BETTER than Jerry Brown, presently!!!!!!

As California Goes....
SO GOES THE NATIONAL-ECONOMY!​

You younger-people are in for quite-the-treat!!!!

As someone who grew up in California, I can tell you all of this is very true. The school I went to was well over 60% Mexican. I say Mexican and not "hispanic" because back then the kids loudly and proudly proclaimed being Mexican above all else. Most of them were too busy playing wannabe gangster than concentrating on anything to do with school. I can't tell you how many idiots, especially the males, threw away their free (meaning tax-payer paid) education. It is also why to this day I have absolutely no sympathy for high school drop outs or other shitbags and dregs of society. They all had their free lunch and chose to piss it all away. I saw it first hand.

I've always loved California and its weather, beaches and mountains. But its been a shithole since we let Mexicans infest it and ruin it. Or perhaps I should clarify and say since we elected liberals who let it all happen over decades.

we are so screwed. and yes the craven reps who caved last year are part of the problem not the solution.

I watched my car reg. for instance after jackass Maldonado 'saved us" last year go up 35%...yes, 35%. how about yours?
